Now it's just a matter of tidying up a little. As far as I can see there's no further signs of malware on your computer.

Let's clear out OTL and the files and folders it created. This will also remove Systemlook.
  • Double click OTL.exe to launch the programme.
  • Click on the CleanUp! button.
  • OTL will download a list from the Internet, if your firewall or other defensive programmes alerts you, allow it access.
  • You will be prompted to allow the clean up procedure, click Yes
  • When finished exit out of OTL
  • Now delete OTL.exe (if still present).


Next

Please delete ...

JRT.exe
JRT.txt

Next

Please go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program and Uninstall the following:

Tweaking.com Registry Backup


As far as I can see, your computer looks clear of infection now.

Are you still noticing any problems ?
  • If you are let me know about them.
  • If not it's time to make your computer more secure.


Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.


If your computer is running slowly after your clean up, please read.
